Man In Court Charged With Two Elderly Killings

A man has appeared in court charged with murdering two elderly people in the West Midlands and London.

Leo Barnes is accused of killing Cynthia Beamond and Philip Silverstone, who were found dead in their homes 120 miles apart.

Barnes shrugged and smirked as he refused to provide the clerk at Dudley Magistrates Court with his name, address and date of birth.

The 32-year-old, of Balsall Heath, Birmingham, appeared in court alongside Chantelle Moran-Stokes, who is also charged with Mrs Beamond's murder.

The body of Mrs Beamond, aged 80, was found hidden inside her semi-detached house in Halesowen, near Birmingham, on Sunday after she was reported missing by family members.

A post-mortem found she died from head injuries suffered during a violent attack.

Mr Silverstone, who had been stabbed, was found dead on Monday at his flat in Belsize Park, north London, after concerns were raised for his welfare.

Moran-Stokes, 24, from Darlaston, West Midlands, and Barnes were both remanded in custody to appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Friday.

Mrs Beamond is said to have been killed between June 26 and June 30, while Mr Silverstone's murder is alleged to have taken place between June 27 and July 1.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "West Midlands Police is working with the Metropolitan Police Service on this joint investigation and both forces have continued to update the families of Mrs Beamond and Mr Silverstone throughout."
